Institutional Economic Architecture

Economic systems built to remain legible under pressure.

I advise banks, advisory firms, protocols, and funds on token design, stablecoin mechanisms, settlement architecture, and treasury and governance decisions that cannot be treated in isolation.

What I Solve

Structural problems with economic consequences.

01 / Incentive Architecture

Participation is growing, but useful behavior is not compounding.

Failure surface

Emissions, staking rewards, and contributor incentives can fund measurable activity while retention and system value weaken.

Decision output

Actor map, incentive-flow analysis, leakage register, and mechanism recommendations.

02 / Treasury & Emissions

Runway, liquidity support, and token confidence are becoming reflexive.

Failure surface

Treasury policy fails when reserves, emissions, unlocks, operating budgets, and market support are modeled separately.

Decision output

Treasury scenario matrix, reserve constraints, emissions envelope, and decision thresholds.

03 / Governance Systems

The system can vote, but it cannot coordinate when timing matters.

Failure surface

Broad decision surfaces, delegation inertia, and unclear intervention rights create latency, capture risk, and operating ambiguity.

Decision output

Decision-rights map, governance tree, escalation logic, and operating rules.

04 / Market Structure & Liquidity

Reported depth looks healthy while capital quality remains fragile.

Failure surface

Rented liquidity, routing leakage, market-maker dependence, and funding exposure can disappear when incentives or volatility change.

Decision output

Liquidity routing map, market-quality review, dependency analysis, and intervention priorities.

05 / Institutional Translation

A strong system is difficult for partners, governance, or capital to evaluate.

Failure surface

Protocol-native assumptions often remain illegible as controls, obligations, risk surfaces, and operating constraints.

Decision output

Institutional architecture brief, evidence pack, risk map, and diligence-ready decision surface.

Engagement Model

Scope follows the decision at risk.

Pricing anchors establish fit. Final scope depends on system surface, evidence availability, and implementation depth.

2-3 weeks

System Assessment

From EUR 2-5k

A bounded diagnosis before a mechanism, policy, or capital decision hardens.

  • Mechanism diagnosis
  • Constraint and actor map
  • Failure-mode register
  • Prioritized decision memo

4-8 weeks

Architecture Engagement

Typically EUR 5-20k+

A complete redesign or new economic architecture for a defined system surface.

  • Economic system model
  • Mechanism specifications
  • Scenario and sensitivity analysis
  • Implementation artifact pack

Monthly cadence

Embedded Advisory

Scoped

Ongoing architecture support for teams making interconnected system decisions.

  • Design review cycles
  • Governance and treasury support
  • Research and evidence translation
  • Decision documentation

Working Method

Analysis ends in a decision surface.

  1. 01

    Diagnose

    Locate the failure surface before selecting a mechanism.

  2. 02

    Model

    Test the variables, actors, and pressure states that change the decision.

  3. 03

    Architect

    Convert constraints into mechanisms, rights, and operating logic.

  4. 04

    Translate

    Produce artifacts that implementation, governance, and institutions can review.
